1.2 WORK COVERED BY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. Project Location: Everglades National Park, Florida Bay, Flamingo Visitors Area located near Homestead, FL. The site is approximately 50 miles from the Everglades National Parks main entrance.

B. The Work consists of the following:

The Work includes the repurposing and renovation of the former Flamingo concessions restaurant and gift shop into the new Guy Bradley Visitor Center and the renovation of the Law Enforcement Wing (current Ranger Station). The structure was constructed in the Mission-66 era and has historical significance. The work includes provision for a new elevator location and to abandon the existing cargo elevator to provide handicapped access for both visitors and staff. The new visitor center will house spaces for offices, restrooms, a multi-purpose room, back country permit kiosk, conference room and bookstore. The Great Hall/Gallery space will be multi-purpose. Not only will this room be used to display the informational exhibits but it will also be used for special events. The building is 58 years old and all mechanical, electrical systems, architectural finishes and built in furnishings are being replaced due to the damage of past flooding. The ground level will house toilet rooms and back country permit kiosk. This project includes the installation of a new fire protection-sprinkler system, as well as a code compliant fire alarm and smoke detection system. A building sound/intercom system and an audio visual system will be installed for the great hall/exhibit area. All of the facility windows and exterior doors will be replaced to harden the building against future storms. The facility roof structure and roof system, which was damaged in previous hurricanes will be replaced in full with a new modified bitumen roof system. Minor modifications, including sidewalk additions and replacement, will be made to accommodate new entrance locations and flow of visitors. In addition to the general renovation tasks, this work also includes rehabilitation and repurposing of select interior and exterior building components, including monumental stairs, hand rails, sidewalks, and restrooms. Beyond the items highlighted in this paragraph, EVER - 235866 01 11 00 - 2 exterior work is limited. Work associated with the exterior envelope of the building outside of the windows, doors, and openings are not in scope. Landscape is not included in this scope of work. The Park is addressing these exterior scope items under different contracts.

In addition to the Flamingo Visitors Center facility work, a performance specifications package is included to upgrade the main water line infrastructure from the NPS owned desalination domestic water plant to the Flamingo area. These upgrades are necessary to support fire suppression and domestic water needs for the Flamingo Visitor’s Center Facility and future lodge / restaurant buildings in the Flamingo area.

C. Project will be constructed under a single prime contract.

1.3 MODIFICATION PROPOSAL PRICING REQUIREMENTS

A. General:

1. Your proposal must be received in the format and within the time frame specified in the Request for Proposal letter. Costs or delays resulting from failure of contractor to submit within the time frame specified will not be compensable.

2. The proposal must be detailed with itemized lists of equipment, materials, labor, production rates, overhead, profit, and bond markup for each item. Labor costs must be itemized by craft and hourly rate, including Fringe Benefits and Labor Burden. If the costs of Fringe Benefits and Labor Burden are not itemized, it is assumed that that they are included in the hourly rate shown, or contractor is not requesting reimbursement.

Contractor may utilize the government provided Contractor Estimate Form, or their

EVER - 235866 01 26 01 - 4

own form, provided that it contains the same information and level of detail as the Gov’t provided form.

3. Requests for extensions of contract time as a result of this change must be justified with a Time Impact Analysis (TIA). Refer to Division 01 Specification, “Construction Schedule”, for time impact analysis requirements. TIA and associated costs must be received with the proposal by the date shown within the Request for Proposal letter.

Contractor’s failure to submit within the specified time frame will be construed as the Contractor waiving the right for additional time and no time extension will be allowed.

4. All supporting documentation used to justify the proposed modification will be made available to the Contracting Officer upon request.

5. Contractor must review and approve all subcontractor/supplier pricing in detail for proper format, scope, production rates, and pricing prior to submission to the NPS. All delay costs associated with not reviewing and approving subcontractor/supplier pricing will be borne by the Contractor.

6. All pricing and production rates within the estimate must be based on fair and reasonable pricing and cannot include built-in contingency.

B. Labor:

1. Contractor shall estimate the cost of labor by itemizing each craft involved, indicating worker hourly rate (base rate + labor burden + fringe benefits) for each and itemizing the hours required for each craft that will be directly engaged in modification work.

Any work proposed that will require overtime work or premium pay shall be itemized separately. All rates shall be in accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act as incorporated herein. Labor Burden may include payroll taxes, Social Security, unemployment insurances, workers compensation insurance, FICA, FUTA, and other direct costs resulting from Federal, State or local laws.

2. Itemize labor costs for equipment operators separate from equipment costs.

3. The labor cost for foremen shall only be costs for related work required for the modification.

Mobilization, if applicable, may be included for equipment solely used on the modification work but must be listed separately.

5. Estimate the full rate for equipment only for the duration that the equipment will be utilized to accomplish the work of the modification.

6. Standby unit rates used are to be in accordance with paragraph 1.3, D, 2, above. If the US Army Corp of Engineers is utilized then their standby rates prevail. If Bluebook or local equipment pricing is accepted, then ½ of the equipment costs minus any operating costs, major repair and overhaul will be accepted.

7. If equipment is in standby mode due solely to a documented NPS delay, the established standby rate shall apply from the first day of the delay.

8. Equipment that is not used and on the jobsite for up to five consecutive days may be classified at standby rates, provided that the equipment is or has been used solely to perform work on the modification and will be necessary to complete additional modification work. Equipment that is still on the jobsite but not in use after five consecutive days will not be considered in the modification pricing.

9. Requests for compensation for equipment stand by time must be justified, documented and itemized separately.

10. The estimated timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly) for use of the equipment must reflect the lowest cost to the Government.
